Two tracks this week that both know exactly what they are for, making you feel good and making you move. One from a London vocalist teaming up with a Dutch producer, one from a Philadelphia attorney who moonlights as a prolific EDM producer ☀️
Jules Davidson – Find A Way
Jules Davidson’s Find A Way is London EDM meeting Dutch trance, with the kind of vocal that carries you all the way to summer
Find A Way is the second collaboration between London vocalist Jules Davidson and Dutch house and trance producer SPYZZD, and it is immediately clear why they keep working together. Jules’ vocal has a natural warmth that cuts right through the electronic production rather than getting swallowed by it, and when the drop comes the chorus actually has something to lift, instead of just a filter sweep chasing an empty hook back into the mix. It’s tough in all the best ways.
Influenced by Röyksopp, London Grammar and Eli and Fur, the track is built to feel good in a car with the windows down and the road open. The arrangement is summer-ready without being overly nostalgic, leaning on a confident mid-tempo groove that keeps the energy high without ever feeling rushed. If the first collaboration between Davidson and SPYZZD felt like a test run, this one is the version where the formula clicks properly and the partnership starts paying off. More of this please.
DJ Cards – Lose It in the Lights
DJ Cards’s Grab That Fall Feeling is warm, melodic progressive house from the Philadelphia lawyer who drops beats and clearly knows exactly how to do it.
Lose It in the Lights blends progressive house energy with light trance elements and a warm seasonal atmosphere, and it is excellent pre-summer listening on a dull afternoon. The arrangement unfolds like your best ever holiday trip to the balearics, and atmospheric layers build wonderfully into the drop. The result is a track that sits as comfortably on a run playlist as it does on a late drive, and we love it.
DJ Cards is a Philadelphia-based attorney who produces under the nickname The Lawyer Who Drops Beats, disciplined and detail-driven by day and bold and creative in the studio. He has gained real traction across global media outlets with a signature sound that fuses atmospheric elements, driving rhythms and powerful hooks, and this latest release keeps that approach intact while leaning further into the melodic side of progressive house to close out the season. This is huge.
